. @MichaelJMorell nails the real scandal around unmasking. It& #39;s not what happened in the Obama admin, and barely even Trump& #39;s own lies, which we& #39;re sadly used to. It& #39;s that he has fully corrupted and politicized the intelligence community. https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/2020/05/17/only-culprit-unmasking-scandal-is-trump-administration/">https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/...

Story of the next six months will be Biden having to run against not just the Trump campaign, but also the full weight of a corrupt DOJ and a corrupt IC. They are going to create a lot of noise, and I hope people don& #39;t miss the forest for the trees.

This Don Ayer piece on what Barr& #39;s actions in the Flynn case portend for the coming months at DOJ is a good companion to Morell& #39;s piece on the IC. A double-barrelled assault on the rule of law. https://www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/2020/05/barrs-flynn-dismissal-motion-portends-greater-abuses-ahead/611779/">https://www.theatlantic.com/ideas/arc...
